Class ALBERT PRATT NANCY CROSBY Our class PRESIDENT and SECRETARY throughout our four years. We started our four years at Brandon High with a class of seventy-three members. Our officers were: President - ALBERT PRATT; Vice President - ANNE RAWSON; Secretary - NANCY CROSBY; Treasurer - LYNDA HUMISTON; with JULIE SIMONDS and CHARLIE NEEDHAM as Student Council representatives. We officially began our high school career in the traditional manner at Freshman Initiation with the boys dressed as babies, and the girls dressed as cavemen. The humor of the occasion eased our tension, and we proceeded to have a wonderful year. We sponsored a Christmas Dance which we scheduled for the stormiest night of the winter! Our class advisors for the year were Mrs. Motley, Mrs. Clif- ford, and Mrs. Young. For our SOPHOMORE year we re-elected ALBERT PRATT, President, and NANCY CROSBY, Secretary. Others elected were: Vice President - JIM SPELLMAN; Treasurer - RODNEY GIBEAULT; Student Council Rep. - JULIE SIMONDS and RICHARD DUTTON; Youth Center Rep. - JEAN CARLETON and FRANCES RUSSELL. We sponsored the Sophomore Harvest Dance with Duke and the Swingbillies from WCAX-TV. At Christmastime, we had a big class party in the gym. Mr. Painter and Mr. Barna were our class advisors. OUR FRESHMAN INITIATION: TOM-AL I worship thee because thou art a mighty, noble upperclassman.

History At the beginning of our JUNIOR YEAR, we elected the fol- lowing officers: PRESIDENT - ALBERT PRATT; VICE PRESIDENT - JIM SPELLMAN; SECRETARY - NANCY CROSBY; TREASURER - RICHARD UNGER. Our activities for the year were: the Junior Prom, the annual Junior Ham Supper, a Sadie Hawkins Dance, a Cake Walk, and a food sale. The theme of the Junior Prom, held on May 22, was Paris Holiday. ” The gym was neatly decorated with the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, sidewalk cafe, and other French decorations. Geldert's Orchestra provided the music which set the atmosphere for a night to remember. Our Ham Supper was a great success with the boys waiting tables. Our class advisors were Mrs. Barna and Mr. Painter. At the start of our SENIOR YEAR, we elected the following officers: PRESIDENT - ALBERT PRATT; VICE PRESIDENT - TOM WHITTAKER; SECRETARY - NANCY CROSBY; TREASURER - STEVE HOOKER. Our Student Council representatives were LINDA BECK- WITH and RICHARD UNGER, and our Youth Center representative was JIM SPELLMAN. Our Senior play, OUR TOWN, was held on November 13 and 14, with Mrs. Fox directing. It was a big success and well worth the long hours of rehearsing. We sponsored a Senior Kid Dance in November with the sen- iors dressed as they would have been during their early childhood. In February we had a Cherry Tree Dance with Bert Severy and Ju- lie Simonds as co-chairmen. Preseau's Orchestra played for us. Everyone seemed to have a swell time. Our advisors for the year were Mrs. Barna, Miss Force, and Mr. Kelley.
